Parents are blatantly disrespectful here's how
A child does not ask to be born, yet once they exist, they are immediately bound to systems of money and labor in order to survive. Regardless of personality, temperament, or nervous system sensitivity, that child will eventually be required to perform repetitive, often meaningless work—whether in a warehouse, fast-food restaurant, retail store, or similar environment—not because it fulfills them, but because survival demands it. This burden is not distributed equally. Some people are born neurodivergent—autistic, ADHD, highly sensitive, or otherwise wired differently—and are not built to function comfortably in rigid, overstimulating, compliance-based systems. For them, forced routine, constant supervision, social masking, and prolonged boredom can trigger intense stress responses in the nervous system. What looks like “laziness” or “defiance” from the outside is often exhaustion, overload, or pain. Yet instead of questioning the system, we often place the pressure on the child. Parents and institutions attempt to force “functionality” at seven or eight years old—training children to sit still, suppress discomfort, perform on command, and adapt to environments that fundamentally conflict with their neurological makeup. The question is: for what purpose? To prepare them early for the same survival labor that caused the distress in the first place? To bring a person into existence without their consent, especially one whose nervous system is incompatible with modern labor structures, and then demand that they adapt or be labeled broken, is not compassionate—it is coercive. When a system consistently harms certain people, the ethical failure lies with the system, not the individuals struggling to endure it.
